Alessandro e la manipolazione della natura
No full textL’indagine di questo studio si focalizza sugli episodi di intervento nei confronti della natura da parte di Alessandro Magno. Essi si inquadrano nel più ampio tema della stigmatizzazione, da parte della cultura classica, del comportamento di coloro che manipolano la configurazione del territorio, violandone anche la dimensione sacra. Sulla traccia degli esempi di Serse e Semiramide si collocano le opere di Alessandro che, durante la sua lunga spedizione, più volte modifica il paesaggio, tanto marino, quanto terrestre.This study focuses on the episodes of intervention against nature by Alexander the Great. They belong to the wider theme of the stigmatization, by classical culture, of the behavior of those who manipulate the configuration of the territory, also violating its sacred dimension. Following on the steps of Xerxes and Semiramis, Alessander’s works several times modify the landscape, both marine and terrestrial, during his long expedition

Sports contracts in Italy
No full textAn article by Mario Serio (Professor of Comparative Law at the University of Palermo, Italy), taken from his presentation at the International Academy of Legal Science conference held at the University of Istanbul in May 2010. The author focuses on the Italian experience of sports contracts and the way relationships between athletes and their employers may be governed in particular legal systems, including protection through implementation within sports bodies. The article is published in Amicus Curiae – Journal of the Society for Advanced Legal Studies at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies. The Journal is produced by SALS at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, University of London

Design and characterization of a fabric-based softness display
No full textTo enable a realistic tactile interaction with remote or virtual objects, softness information represents a fundamental property to be rendered via haptic devices. What is challenging is to reduce the complexity of such an information as it arises from contact mechanics and to find suitable simplifications that can lead an effective development of softness displays. A possible approach is to surrogate detailed tactile cues with information on the rate of spread of the contact area between the object and the finger as the contact force increases, i.e. force/area relation. This paradigm is called contact area spread rate. In this paper we discuss how such a paradigm has inspired the design of a tactile device (hereinafter referred to as Fabric Yielding Display, FYD-2), which exploits the elasticity of a fabric to mimic different levels of stiffness, while the contact area on the finger indenting the fabric is measured. In this manner, the FYD-2 can be controlled to reproduce force-area characteristics. In this work, we describe the FYD-2 architecture and report a psychophysical characterization. FYD-2 is shown to be able to accurately reproduce force-area curves of typical objects and to enable a reliable softness discrimination in human users
Sulla governabilità oggi e nel pensiero di Serio Galeotti, ovvero su come ‘le idee camminano’
No full textA partire dalle riflessioni sull'argomento di Serio Galeotti, l'autrice si interroga criticamente sul concetto di governabilità e sul suo uso nel contesto dell'ingegneria costituzionale e delle riforme istituzionali.Starting from Serio Galeotti's reflections on the subject, the Author critically questions the concept of governability and its use in the context of constitutional engineering and institutional reforms
Sensorymotor Synergies: Fusion of Cutaneous Touch and Proprioception in the Perceived Hand Kinematics
No full textAccording to classical studies in physiology, muscle spindles and other receptors from joints and tendons provide crucial information on the position of our body and our limbs. Cutaneous cues also provide an important contribution to our sense of position. For example, it is possible to induce a vivid sensation of movement in the anesthetized finger, by stretching the skin around the proximal interphalangeal joint. However, much of proprioceptive literature did not consider the role of tactile interaction with external objects as position and motion cues. Whenever we touch an external, stationary object, the contact forces produce a mechanical deformation of the skin which changes with the hand posture and movement. Therefore, these cutaneous contact cues might also provide proprioceptive information. In this paragraph, evaluated this hypothesis based on recently published experimental data
